The Trump regime has now claimed - and is acting on the belief that - the United States has more jurisdiction over other countries and their leaders than the ICJ and ICC in the Hague have over the United States

La mémoire du fascisme portugais, des guerres coloniales, de la PIDE, des prisons politiques, des déportations et des exils, me rappelle que la démocratie doit être défendue avec des ongles et des dents. L’extrême droite est un poison et l’antifascisme en est le remède.

so many people making excuses for dems like they won’t be some of the first people in line to cash in on the violent extraction of resources smh

Once again US media doing all they can to be mouthpieces for the fascist regime and manufacture consent.

Screaming "wtf" and waiting for a spontaneous uprising is going to discourage you. There won't be a spontaneous uprising. That's just not where the people are at. Organize for the long term. Build community. Build resilience. Have a strategy for whatever corner of this thing you're working on.

The US government doesn't have to supposedly distract anyone from the Epstein files with war, crisis, etc when the prospect of them alone would cause a mass uprising in other places. Even if they were all out in the open, it would not trigger the automatic uprising some imagine.

Colonial expansion will always be the solution to economic crisis for a country whose creation and identity is imperialism, violence, and capitalism. It’s an inescapable pattern woven into America’s economic and political system, no matter who you vote for. Imperialism and capitalism need eachother.

You wouldn't expose war crimes... would you? ddosecrets.com/submit

“Known for entryist practices to hijack other groups, collaborating with police, and for significant involvement in the anti-war ANSWER coalition, itself originally a WWP front.”

It’s unfortunate that the largest anti-war organizers in America are ANSWER, an org that sits under the umbrella of tankie political group, Party for Socialism and Liberation. PSL are fans of the North Korean government and have also denied Assad’s use of chemical weapons on people in Syria.

“Congress must act to rein him in. Immediately.” 🙄

#OtD 3 Jan 1925 anti-Nazi resistance martyr, Ulyana Matveevna Gromova, was born in the village of Pervomaysky in Ukraine. She formed a local underground resistance group aged 17, and was arrested and executed at 19 stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1018...

Waiting for the reveal that Putin gave Trump the OK to attack Venezuela with some form of quid pro quo regarding Ukraine

It's wishful thinking that America is a dying empire and these are nearly its last few desperate violent death rattles. It's a globe straddling lich king that will shamble along on hunger alone unless we take out it's legs. Death by a thousand cuts or the big cool thing, we gotta bury this vampire.

solidarity!! (also just know there are autonomous groups there, and connected autonomous movements across borders....) fuck the USA!

Hussein was a really horrible dictator - so bad that in fact some on the left accepted that the Iraq invasion was worth the price if it resulted in a democracy. But this? / waves hand/ what is there even to say?

Not “gay” as in “I support Scott Wiener” but “queer” as in “keep US militarism out of Venezuela.” Wiener supports this type of violence when it comes from the IDF and US-backed groups. Wiener supports imperialism. Liberation means we aren’t free until ALL our siblings are free. #QueerLiberationNOW

All along, Fuentes has been a hard-nosed imperialist. His critique of the neocons was that they were idealistic, committed to a lofty world-shaping project, rather than remaining focused on raw power. He instinctually supported Trump’s attack on Venezuela today,

Democrat leaders on this platform want you to believe they are the party of resistance while supporting genocide, rubber stamping Trump's nominees, folding on trans rights, using far-right rhetoric about migrants, working with mass surveillance companies, getting mad they weren't in on a coup.

Saturday 1/3: Stop the Bombings - NO WAR ON VENEZUELA!

Want to learn about America’s history of Gunboat Diplomacy in Latin America, and fascist oligarchs trying to take over the U.S.? This episode of On Offense with historian and journalist @katz.theracket.news is a great primer. youtu.be/bNY3OdRgfuc

If pressuring politicians is a route you're going, remember the nice way always fails. They only act in non-horrible ways when they're afraid of the alternative. The push against the trans medicaid ban last year worked because people got angry and targeted Dems rather than flattering them.

We have a lot of @handsofeir.bsky.social clients and friends who also are seeking help from Life After Hate. If you want to follow their work, you can at @lifeafterhate.bsky.social.

Everything the evil people said they’d do they have started or done. They wrote it all down & published it, secure in the knowledge that they could & would get away with it & never face accountability if they won. Anyone who denies voting for explicitly all of this after the fact is lying to you.

The attack on Venezuela probably happened because someone - Hegseth, presumably - went to Trump with the suggestion in order to gain his favour by bringing him an opportunity to do something big, aggressive, cruel, & macho, knowing he would love it. That's how the top of the Nazi government worked.

Allegedly, the indictment against #Maduro is for drug trafficking. The former president of Honduras, who was convicted of smuggling 400 tons of #cocaine to the US, was pardoned by #Trump

Joint statement of the Latin American Anarchist Coordination and sibling organizations: www.blackrosefed.org/cala-stateme...

take the risk “when it comes to both individual and collective self-preservation, it can be wiser to act assertively at the beginning, while it is still possible to influence the course of events.”

Don't let anyone tell you that this is too complicated, that you don't have the expertise or background knowledge to understand some obscure nuance. It is exactly what it looks like.

Here's a statement from Venezuelan opposition leader and recent Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado, in it's original Spanish and with an English translation (machine translation).

If the regime change in Venezuela is successful, the US will likely declare it a "safe" country, revoke the refugee status of all these people, and set ICE loose to deport them.

Kindly fuck off with this CONSTANT rhetoric of 'it's a distraction". We're talking about imperialist *atrocities* here, which btw is a bipartisan consensus in the USA. Venezuelans' lives and self-determination being attacked brutally is not a "distraction"🤬🤬

Éirígí #ForANewRepublic activists joined scores of others on Dublins Ha’penny Bridge today to protest against this mornings attack by the United States on Venezuela and the kidnapping of democratically elected Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro. #HandsOffVenezuela! 🇻🇪

U.S. airstrikes targeting the port in Caracas, Venezuela. The United States keeps killing innocent people, and no country has the guts to hold it accountable. This is violation of international law.

Note on this one: My understanding is that PSL is part of the organizers (and they are known for leading people into kettles), and Pershing Square is a very kettle friendly spot. I recommend sticking to the sidewalks and keeping a map on you. Do not go into any tunnels.

Trump just released a photo of Maduro blindfolded “on board the USS Iwo Jima.”

Please support @truthout.org, fam. The Truthout Center for Grassroots Journalism is helping to foster and sustain an ecosystem of indy journalism, beyond the bounds of one publication. We need to think in those terms.

"If British special forces rappelled down into the Rose Garden to physically apprehend President Trump, no American publication would describe it as a mere 'arrest'—no matter which UK laws Trump was accused of violating. We would call it an extrajudicial kidnapping and an act of war."

"Why are we arresting Maduro and not Netanyahu?" Because Netanyahu works for us, and Maduro didn't. That's really the difference. We are the global hegemon. We aren't the good guys. If Putin gave us oil and tribute, we'd sell him cheap weapons, just like Netanyahu.

US attacks Venezuelan capital, captures Maduro An unknown number of civilian casualties as explosions rock Caracas LATEST by me for PWS

what needs to be done and what will be done are never the same thing

good list of protest events although i always recommend you not register or rsvp

Anarchists are often dismissed as idealists, but it is in actuality those who maintain faith in states who are the true idealists, remaining firmly detached from reality, holding on to a fantasy that only obfuscates the catastrophe of a world organized on the basis of statehood.

Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado: “Venezuelans, the hour of freedom has arrived. “Today we are prepared to enforce our mandate and take power. “To Venezuelans inside our country: be ready to carry out what we will very soon communicate to you through our official channels. 1/2

Non je ne vais pas faire de fil de suivi sur l'attaque de Trump à Caracas pour déstabiliser et faire tomber le gouvernement du #Venezuela Comme beaucoup de libertariens, ça va être une action express, le temps de choquer le monde entier, truster l'attention et obtenir le contrat qu'il souhaite. 🤬

Russian foreign ministry having a laugh: “Such actions, if they actually took place, constitute an unacceptable violation of the sovereignty of an independent state, respect for which is a key principle of international law."
